A few unofficial snow depth reports submitted to the WeatherQuest snow depth tool (weatherquest.co.uk/snowdepth/map) suggest as much as 38-40 cm across the north Pennines

The deepest official snow depth reported was 24 cm at Copley (Co Durham) at 9am on Monday morning — but parts of the northern Pennines likely saw more than this.

A look back at a few weather snaps 📸 from 2024 — the highlight of the year has to be the total solar #eclipse in April, but closely followed by the most amazing #aurora display in May (made even more special by being visible, by eye 👀, at 52.5°N)...

What does 2025 have in store? 🤔
